Great; a return to thin clients. How innovative and revolutionary.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
She doesn’t, no. But who do you think she’s going to ask about it when the popup tells her she needs to pay out to store more files? What do you think i would have told her to do before reading this article?
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
She doesn’t know what she accepted man, that’s the fucking point.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
My sister’s brand new Windows 11 laptop came with the user data folders replaced by OneDrive and I very seriously doubt she did that intentionally.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 2 weeks ago:
If the people in question were choosing to use OneDrive in the first place, I might agree with you. Since MS is forcing this crap on everyone it’s their fault when people lose data to it.
- Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space 3 weeks ago:
im sorry but that lever did not have a sharp resonating tremor associated that reverberated into my soul so it is, regretfully, inferior

Doesn’t compare to the satisfying click of playing with the forbidden spring loaded metal door.

- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 3 weeks ago:
I started doing this after my roommate got upset with me because she blindly sat down and fell in. Then she got upset because she interpreted this as passive aggressive.

I sure do love it when people learn the wrong lesson.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 4 weeks ago:
DLSS has made devs lazy. Why bother optimizing when you can have some whiz bang AI algorithm turn a low res input into a greasy looking high res output.

if the US government were actually funded by taxes, everything the government does would be with “my money”

if they’re still around when the financial shell game they’re playing finally comes to a stop. who am i kidding the government will bail them out.

Don’t worry bro, the models are getting dumber!
That would be pretty impressive when they already lack any intelligence at all.
- Comment on Mozilla's new CEO says AI is coming to Firefox, but will remain a choice 5 weeks ago:
it’s insane how many people say they use it for boilerplate in code. it’s boilerplate! it’s called that because it’s always the same!! make a snippet in your IDE. the language/framework/whatever package for your IDE probably has all the boilerplate snippets you could need already. what the fuck is going on
- Comment on Mozilla’s Betrayal of Open Source: Google’s Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support Mozilla 1 month ago:
Voting with your wallet doesn’t work when you are the product. They don’t care about your money when google’s will dwarf any amount individuals could hope to raise, even collectively. Nothing prevents them from just taking both your money and google’s and changing absolutely nothing.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 1 month ago:
I genuinely tried to find the source for this but all I got from google were ads for vibe coding and proton’s own AI. So take this half-remembered anecdote with a grain of salt, I guess. Best i’ve got is this
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 1 month ago:
Well, hope you like AI shit too because the people at proton are in love with vibe coding. Get ready for your data to be exfilled by a prompt injection in a spam email.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 1 month ago:
my dude nobody is using a stolen identity to go to a bar. they’re taking out lines of credit and you don’t have to always present a physical, photo ID for those because there entire industries of creditors that have no physical location. you don’t even seem to be aware of the reasons why someone would bother stealing someone’s identity so if you’d like to continue this argument I invite you to have it with yourself.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 1 month ago:
this “you’d have to make a fake to use it!!” argument is especially ridiculous when you’ve posted on a story about submitting a picture of your photo ID in place of a physical one. and one of the pieces of info you say actually “matters” is literally written on said ID

- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 2 months ago:
Some have cameras on the inside that let you view the contents without opening it. Some have AI that use the cameras to track your food stock. I doubt either of these things justify the amount of resources they consume to accomplish this pointless bullshit.

Lmao they source the photos from LinkedIn profiles. I’m sure that didn’t bias their training at all. Yes sir there’s no chance this thing is selecting for anything but facial features.
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 3 months ago:
it wasn’t just the keyboard for me. phone browsers pre iphone were just absolute garbage with joke rendering engines. you were lucky to get a functional mobile site, let alone trying to render the desktop version. iphone was using the same rendering engine as desktop safari, which wasn’t perfect but miles better than whatever the hell blackberry or sidekick were using.
